When we launched MONOPOLY City Streets last week, we were thrilled that so many of you wanted to try your hand at global real estate domination. As many of you experienced, the initial rush led to slower servers, which in turn resulted in compromised data. You may have also discovered a few bugs while you’ve been getting to know the game and we’ve been hard at work to fix those problems.
To prepare for the restart, we will be taking down the game on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 at 15:00 GMT. We anticipate that the game will be down for 12 to 24 hours as we reset and test the game. When the site comes back live, the game will restart.
But, we’re not just restarting the game. We’ve made some improvements to the gameplay that we think address many of the concerns that you have brought to our attention while you played the game. We will provide additional details about these changes soon.
This restart does mean that everyone will be starting over with $3 million to spend and will need to register again.
Thank you all for your awesome support in the last few days. We appreciate all of the input, suggestions and most of all your patience.

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 507 Newer› Newest»I think it would be lovely to know exactly when the restart will be, not just generally in a 24 hour period.
Frankly I think all the unknowing beta testers do deserve better.
But I am glad you're making improvements.
Jolly good. How will that new registration work? Email verified? IP recognition?
Would you mind give your loyal players a list of improvements that was made in another post?
Will you be releasing the new official rules before the reset?
U_U
what time are you using? what time will 15.00 be in denmark?
Looking forward to actually getting a decent street this time.

COME ON!??? You can't set a shut down time and not a specific restart time!!!!! What happened to the idea of a staggered roll out across the time zones? The game will crash again.
DON"T SCREW IT UP A SECOND TIME!!!!!
Also, what have you done to ensure that people will not have multiple accounts, which is the easiest way to cheat?
Remember as much as this game is fun, we don't live for it, (apart from the nerds who have 50 accounts are cheating). We don't want to sit around for 12 hours waiting for the game to start. This is not fair at all.

Have your say here:
http://monopo.ly
Active forum on this very issue!
Finally...
Except now tere are more players and they'll snap up the prize streets more quickly... We'll be lucky to get one apiece :p
I was thinking about something:
If all of your streets have hazards placed on them you won't earn any rent. Why not make the hazards only remove 90% of rent; the 10% can at least be used to build somewhere else so you can have a chance at getting a chance card?
Can't you tell us an exact time?
Thanks!
If they name a time then we will end up in the same situation as the first launch.
F5 is your friend.

muchas gracias!!
nice :)
I only hope 2 things :
1) that you will be able to track automatically players with multiple accounts.
2) that you will provide a precise time

I agree with Lawrence. There needs to be a definite time, within an hour. It would be rewards for all of us who ahve stuck at it from the start, finding the bugs, offering suggestions etc.. If the 'unknown beta testers' miss the launch, due to time zones etc and not knowing the start time, it will be a slap in the face...
I for one, am very keen to see the new structure and hope all the earlier problems willbe solved. It will/should make for a much more stratetgic game...
Thanks for resetting it. I was so disappointed when it wouldn't let me register(still doesn't let me register :( ), and I hope that with these new servers, the servers will be faster, and I'll actually get to see firsthand how this game even works. I don't wanna spoil it with youtube videos.
I would say: "It lasts 24 hours" whether you need 5 or 23,5. let it rest a whole day, and its gonna be good.
Well I think the vagueness about when the reset takes place is a good thing, that way we don't all flood onto it at once and cause similar problems to the first time.
It would have been nice for us "beta testers" to be rewarded for our considerable patience though!
Would you please allow your loyal players to register in advence? Pretty please?

Boo Hoo...I'll not be in touch with the internet when the game restarts. I'll look for streets when I get back to civilization, and hope for the best. If I can't get back in, well, it was fun while it lasted! Thanks, Mr. Monopoly!
"We anticipate that the game will be down for 12 to 24 hours as we reset and test the game."
You want the game to be better and you get a second chance at launching the product and yet you still only give a 12 hour window?? That's embarrassing. Bring it down for 24 hours.
A game such as this needs everyone to start on an even keel. Poor form.
looking forward to the real start!

I love the comments above that are along the lines of "I hate all the cheaters, but you need to give me more information so I can cheat, or at least get an unfair advantage over everyone else!"
Hypocracy. It's not just for doctors, apparently.
@Michael:
You're right and I've already thought about that... If that happens... well... too bad... Game Over... Life? It's tough..
IP recognition is ok, but what if more people using one pc? Me and my brother playing on same pc and we will be banned if they will look just on ip. I'm fair player and I don't like cheaters, but I don't want to be banned because two persons will have same ip.
15H00 GMT arf I'll be at work :(
@888Raziel888
I think it will be fine as long as you and your brother don't spam eachother with trades to make it look like you're playing up eachother.
The lack of a time means that you have paid the external hosting service for a specific sizing and that you've taken this from the day to day peak not the initial peak.
Personally I think this is a bit cr*p really as most people work and to set there pressing F5 during a day job is shocking.
I'd expect more personally.....
@Michael (re fully hazarded streets):
In the current game each day (provided you log in) you will get 1,000,000 plus any rent you earn, so if all your streets are hazarded you'll still get the 1,000,000 to try to get back on your feet.

I completely agree. When you try to sugarcoat the clusterfuck that was the first rollout, you are only making yourself look bad.
Allowing multiple accounts with the same names (different case permutation/combinations) was the most ridiculous thing I have seen in a LONG time (and I have seen a lot of shitty designs). Not only that, the person who registers with a combination of the same alphabets automagically gets access to everything owned by the previous owner. Genius.
And instead of admitting that you screwed up, you are trying to pass it off as a "compromised data" case because "initial rush"? What a load of bull shit.
Nice to know what kind of response we can expect if/when another major fuckup pops up. It was not us! It was them gerbils clogging up the tubes!
Maybe not knowing the exact starting time is good.it will prevent a overload, just stay on your toes and keep checking. and maybe have a icon saying system status would help, like offline or online. and i would go nuts, maybe another restart in a week would be a good concept...
I'd rather you shut down the system 24 hours or more if needed but give us a Start Time! Otherwise the restart of the game will be completely pointless and most people will still be unhappy!
Could you also provide us with the changes to the rules/game play before the re-launch. Thanks
wah wah wah wah
does anyone else wanna cry a bit more for not getting an exact restart time? youre at work? too bad, thats what you should be doing, working. you think its unfair? well life is unfair, so deal with it, you dont see kids in africa crying about not playing because oh wait they dont have computers to play with so be thankful youre actually experiencing this. the street you had before is taken after the restart now? too bad, play well enough to go buy it back.
buncha dirty cry babies in here..

I voted for a reset, but now I think it's pointless. Especially if the game will be offline for about '12-24 hours'. How are people supposed to know when the game is back online? Won't it just lead to F5-ing all over again?
But hey, I just hope I can buy back the streets I have at the moment, I'm nowhere near the leaderboard, but I'm happy with my progress.
Actually i agree with Yallah Emshee - i know i might be at work, but hey, i gotta deal with it.
If anything, the lack of a stated start time will probably help ease the rush to it... everybody knows what time it starts... everybody stays up awake everywhere or sets their alarm clock for 4am... and then... well it goes without saying what will happen.
Yes, rules before the new start would be useful. very useful. Also (I am sure others have talked about it)... please get rid of the bug of not being able to demolish hazards on your own streets. that sucks. (I dunno... also maybe limits on the number of hazards??)
And what do WE get as unknowing beta testers? We put the time in playing a game and now all our streets, money, points etc will be deleted! This is ridiculous! This is not how any other public launch of anything I've ever experienced goes. You don't say you've released a game and then delete everything, you take it down and preserve everyone's scores, upgrade everything in the background and release it as "version 2" or something.
Disgusting!
@Mosquito
They are using Greenwich Mean Time. If you search around you can find what time it will be in your region.
As someone who can F5 the site in between calls at work, thank you for setting a Window instead of giving an exact time. Hopefully it'll mean the opening rush won't be as brutal and getting some choice streets will go smoothly :D
I agree with everyone else in that we need an _exact_ restart time. No 12 hour window. The whole reason everyone wanted a reset was because some people were able to either play first or get it working first, giving them an unfair advantage over everyone else.
You gave a specific launch time last time and then launched like 8 hours ahead of schedule. I suspect that was the initial problem people objected to. The game not working was secondary.
If you don't give an exact start time then there's not much reason to reset at all. In the poll if you had posed the question "Would you want a reset even if it means a 12 hour window?" you'd have 28k no votes instead of yes votes. Everyone assumed a reset meant an exact time.
hey!!! i wait more than 24 hours and i dont recive my rents of the day!!! :( what's wrong??? (i don't have bad bulids in my streets)
For US Players the launch is thursday at:
East Coast-10am
West Coast-7am
ROFL! Internet people are funny. "OMG what do we get for being beta testers!?"
It's just a fun little *free* game that everyone in the world gets to play, stop acting like the silly little girls from My Sweet 16.
There's plenty of streets in the world, you're not going to miss anything!
I hope you've done something about multiple identities and the large number of destructive chance cards. I still think that a person employing a chance card to demolish another players property or to put a hazard on a street should have to pay something for this. Why should this be free? It costs money to construct things, but is free to destruct? That makes no sense. I will quickly lose interest in the game if it beoomes nothing more than a contest between those who wish to build and those who wish to destroy. Have you looked at the game board? Ugly smoldering factories and power plants just about everywhere. There's no sense of building anything. If nothing else, reduce the number of hazard cards. It's much too easy to be destructive that way it is now. I get a lot of hazard cards and I just discard them. It seems that lot of people feel compelled to use them, even though destroying another person's property gains them absolutely nothing.
Looking forward to seeing the changes you've made. Thanks for all the hard work you've put into creating, maintaining and improving a game that's been a lot of fun to play with friends! Hope this turns into something bigger for you guys!
Yallah Emshee:
lmfao
Well, its a game with no point and the winners of the game will almost for certain be a cheater im sure, but whatever, im looking forward to spend the winter watching my pointless empire grow :D
Norts And Ones:
Thx for you answer on my question about the 15.00 GMT time, me idiot, GMT time is in London, and Denmark is 1 hour ahead, so its gonna be 16.00 they stop the game here.
Monopoly or Hasbro or w/e, i will send you a bill for a new keyboard after pressing F5 for 24 hours and if it gets broke because of that!!!
:D
any solution for cheaters?
I have a problem... One of my streets had a bonus building and now its gone.
It was still there approximately 10 hours ago when I last checked. This morning when I checked again it was gone and someone has put hazards all over it and demolished one of the buildings. Hopefully this bug/cheat would be fixed in the restart.
Just also want to also say that the game has been awesome!!!
The only thing that needs to be fixed that I haven't really seen brought up is the zooming. One click sends me nearly to street level and I have no idea where I am at in the state/country.
Thanks
Well... So i spend my time until now for nothing? I didn´t know about this is a test version... It is unfair...
I have only one count and play following the rules. I don´t deserve be penalized for the others...
Why not create a new and independent server? And this one still only with the "good" players? It´s just track the IP of the counts to find the multi acounts...
I will not play anymore... Enjoy people...

I forgot one thing...
Forgive me for my wrong english, i´m brazilian and here we speak the good and beautiful portuguese...
Be in Peace all of you...
@everyone complaining about the choices being made by the powers that be, that the servers will not be able to handle the re-registration rush, please try to remember
1. this is a GAME
2. it's not costing us a penny!
I hope to correct many mistakes but above all, to take steps for those who are alive and have multiaccounts believe not want to see the world top with an immense amount of numbers and to see their streets are not worth anything, we just want a game that is legal and the first since this is why he deserves it, if there are traps which would be the joke to play, especially in this game is to monopolize, is also expected that this slow, that more people will enter that the first time, I hope not to disappoint, as I have to forget the top of my town: (
For the next improvements: please allow us to select the quantities of each building we would like to construct at a time.
In a certain point its kind of annoying to create those in long long roads.
I know other people have commented on this, but I just want to echo the unbalance in the chance cards that give or take away money. I just got 20 MILLION taken away from me between 2 back to back cards and now am totally out of money! If you actually want people to be able to play the game then you shouldn't take away ALL their cash. And there certainly should be a limit on how much you can take away at one time - one of those cards was for 16 mil!!!!
So a restart it is. I guess it won´t be of much use to play today or tomorrow, although it is quite fun.
In the meantime I´m checking this Green News.
@Alpha - the hazards are a great feature as far as I'm concerned. I think that multi-accounting is inevitable but I believe that most people are smart enough to focus their hazard cards on the people who are obviously cheating (i.e. those who have more than 10 times the score than anyone else on the board). If everyone does this then it will even the playing field for those playing honestly.
In any case, the game is about competition. Without these chance cards, things could result in stalemates the world over, with everyone holding on to what they have.
@ Zim - Bonus buildings can be bulldozed, leaving the rest of your street vulnerable to hazards. Think of the bonus buildings as a one-time shield rather than a permanent one.
I'm using the time between now and Thursday to refine my strategy, then I'll build a new real estate empire after the reset using the knowledge I have gained. Bring it on!
Sorry if this problem has already been reported, but there is a huge problem with offers.
Sometimes the offer gets lost, either when sending or trying to accept the offer. If this happens the money that was offered disappears with the offer. This cost me 10 Million on a transaction. Not cool.
I've also purchased streets and had that transaction disappear; after building offices on the street, they disappear when I sign out. This has cost me a pretty penny as well.
Deux, You're right, it's a game and it's not costing us a penny. But I assume that the producers of this game want as many people playing it as possible. That's why it's not such a bad idea to tell them our reaction to the game and offer suggestions for how it might be improved. Personally, I'm out of here if they don't resolve some of the problems that have been discussed. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
1. Multiple identities
2. Too easy, and totally free, to destroy, but costs to build.
This game will not appeal to many people, at least not for very long, if they don't resolve these issues.
Great! So now we're supposed to catch a 12-24 hour timeframe ... The restart (not just shutdown, but when we're actually able to register) should be exactly specified.
Am I now supposed to refresh the site every minute for one entire day in the hope someone doesn't grab my favourite street before I do? -.-
Please give us an exact time that the game will be back.... you cannot seriously expect us to wait online refreshing for 24 hrs...
BUG:
When you lookup at a building by clicking on the white cross a window appears at the right with the features, when you try to do this once again the damn window never shows up. You have to close the browser window and re-login, please fix this issue!
Specify relaunch date, I have sought many long streets to buy at first :)
Someone suggested banning multiple accounts.
Please don't do this, at least not by IP address. My boyfriend and I both play on the same computer. It would suck if one of us had to quit the game because of a multi-account rule or if we couldn't both buy streets in the town in which we live.
You know if people keep whining about things they will change them. Let's get more bitching about the reset time. Amyone who has played anykind of MMORPG knows that the carebears and bitchers get their way more often than people who spend time playing the game. Hurry tell all your friends who have never heard of this game to come to the blog and bitch about the reset time. You will get an answer.
I agree, multiple accounts by IP Address although secure, would provide issues for the people who are doing it without cheating. My brother and I are on the same home network, and my sister has said that once the reset happens she might be interested in playing as well. Considering we share the same IP address throughout the whole home network, it would suck if they couldn't play anymore. I think e-mail address verification would be the best option.
Just logged in to find my streets sabotaged with 25 hazards by a multi-accounter (using just 5 accounts). Have to agree, those cards are way too easy to get.
How is it possible for the same player to bulldoze 4 of my buildings and sabotage 2 of my streets in less than 20 minutes?
speaking about bugs: I left the game around 1h ago with less than 50k on the account, I just opened the game again and I have 114k on the account. I guess it's not possible to get money when you are "gone?

I lost M$ 20,000,000 on one chance card.
30%+ of my total daily income.
And this jerk that is buying, selling, buying, selling, buying, selling, buying, selling, buying, and selling the same street over and over again is still in the game and is still higher ranked.
BAN CHEATERS.
Just an idea:
=============
Put the demolish AND the hazard build in ONE chance-card
That solves a lot of problems i think.
Same here. I want know exactly when the restart will be, and I don't care when the current game will be terminated.
@ WIFI
I like that idea.
COMBINE THE DEMOLISH AND HAZARD CHANCE CARDS.
Also, the penalty cards are a bit severe and excessive after you get paid rent for some reason.
Pay rent by the hour. Right now the game requires 5 minutes a day in the early stages. Boring.
@Liz2
The same problem!
I've lost 13.000.000 in a sequence of cards, two of them were 5M. Absolutely not fair.
This was about 75% what I won from yesterday!
@Mr. Monopoly,
Please! Let us know what will change ASAP!!!
There are a lot of problems and I think you didn't solved even half of them. A lot of player are probably going to abandon the game just because the leaks...

1) Quit whining about needing to know when the game will be up. It's up when it's up, and having it be random makes it more of a challenge.
2) Stop thinking your entitled to something special because you were a "beta tester." The things you've learned while doing this will be advantage enough over those that haven't started yet.
3) Knowing the rule changes/updates before release would be fair for everyone.
I can't put words to how sad this date is.
I am looking forward to seeing how the hundreds of thousands of incoming players, mostly from non-western nations, will react to their extermination...
The day my epic run will die...

You couldn't of said it better. The irony would be beautiful if it wasn't this tragic.
In case anyone missed my point: it was random the first time.
Wows. Someone has a trillion. Now it'll be a tiny fraction of that come Thursday. Good thing I just started and have nothing to lose haha
Le mesage est passé sur notre site de la communauté francophone du Monopoly en ligne :
MonopolyCityStreets-FR
MERCI !
Amigos de Google/Hasbro: Hora EXACTA POR FAVOR.
I agree that IP is the wrong way to stop cheating limiting trades or stopping trades between accounts sharing the same IP address would be a better idea me and my wife both play and both enjoy the game we play one account each and we have never traded a property between us.Yet I have made the top of the local board and been there almost from the begining I admit there appears to only be 6 or 7 players in my area, making my feat of being on top no big deal with my score of 18,913,000 being far from the national board or global. Also just a point I started playing on second day of game start. So to the POWERS THAT BE stop the cheaters or at least make it a non profitable to do so with some of the ideas others have been giving like no trades between accounts sharing IP addresses.(GOOD JOB AND GOOD LUCK TO THE ADMIN OF MONOPOLY) TO ALL CRY BABES would you like some cheese and crackers with that wine!!! A 24 hour time span for the restart of the game is a narrow window as it is that allows programmers 12 hours to install or update all software fixes and then test those fixes and also verify no conflicts with the rest of game play or you will all be in here again crying about bugs there could also be hardware updates planed your guess is as good as mine there. If all goes well the game is back in 12 hours if on the other hand there are problem they have allowed them selves 12 hours to solve them and I would bet that most programmers reading this would agree conflicts and problem with these types of updates as often as not do happen. Hell Microsoft updates have totally messed up our payroll software at my job about a year ago it took a day to solve there problem and 2 days on the phone with the software company (Quickbooks)to fix the damage done to our system. My point a 12 hour window to deal with any trouble is a small amount of patience they ask of us, indulge them I am hopeful it with be worth our wait. I am not real pleased to lose all I have built either but consider it practice. It is just a game after all. To ALL THE GOOD PLAYERS I hope to have the chance to play against you in the future in a fair and sporting game of MONOPOLY may the best person win. Me of course...LOL hey if your going to dream, dream big.
It would be neat to have some type of way to legitmately make or break an alliance. "spying" on friends doesnt do the trick.
Then again, this game really is about exploiting capitalism!
Please call an exact date for the restart. this is fair for all. Thanks
Easy way to stop cheating: make it so that if you accept somebody's offer, you can't make an offer on that same street for a period of time, say, 24 hours. I believe that stops the only way to transfer money, though there's still the problem of multi-accounts ganging up on somebody with hazards and demolitions.
Dazed and Koraya. I don't know if you read this but you two suck at this game. Keep attacking me all you want and I'll keep handing you your ass.
After a couple of tit-for-tat wrecking of buildings,
I totally ruined things for another player. Then
when I had collected my rent, and they had nearly
nothing, I took pity on them. As I came upon
bulldozer cards in my building efforts, I tried to
use that card to demolish the hazards that I myself
had placed on their streets. I was unable to demolish
those hazards. I can understand not allowing to
destroy hazards on third-party streets, as that might
be some form of cheating, but I should at least be
able to demolish a hazard that I myself had built,
whether it is on my street, or on anyone elses.
neal, you had pity? You fool. I spread my attacks around evenly so as not to hurt anyone too much UNTIL someone attacks me then I put him down. If he doesn't attack again then fine I let it go but if he does attack again I hit him until he cries.
Instead of one account per IP, maybe try to limit one account per email address? So people can't keep registering unlimited accounts to cheat?
Juhu nun ist es bald soweit und das Spiel wir neugestartet. Hoffentlich dann mit einem besseren Start.

Seems Hasbro avoid to disclose the exact time for starting the game again. So people will not register at the same second.
I think Hasbro should at least announce a shorter time windows for the restart time. I don't want to keep refreshing my browser for 12 hours.
Mr. Monopoly, why not just fix what is wrong?
This up-date idea is just STUPID!!!!
What will re-starting the game really fix?
Why not just UP-DATE the game and fix what is wrong?
3M extra should be given to those players who had the misfortune of starting the game early!!!!
!SPREAD THIS AROUND TO OTHER PLAYERS!

"Am I now supposed to refresh the site every minute for one entire day in the hope someone doesn't grab my favourite street before I do?"
What makes you so special that you deserve your favourite street and not somebody else who also wants it?
It's funny, everything in the area where I'm playing has gone silent since everyone stopped using bulldozers and hazards on one another. People are just trying to buy the most properties, I like this kind of play.
"Am I now supposed to refresh the site every minute for one entire day in the hope someone doesn't grab my favourite street before I do?"
Why do you even have a favourite street? You're not gonna get rich in this game thinking like that. My favourite street is any $1,000,000 street.
Are you doing something about the ridiculous fines one must pay if he has a bit of bad luck?
It is totally unfair that i just had to pay 13,5 million $ when only having about 20 million in rents for the day to begin with...
This is not balanced at all
I think a specific down-time and no specific up-time is perfect for the restart.
That way you don't have everyone logging in at the same time, and get a more spread over a 12 hour period to get your account.
The ones that MUST have a specific street will have to check in regularly to see when te restart is active.
Good choice!
When the down-time is active I think it would be a nice moment to state out the new rules so everyone knows what to expect without having the abillity to test it on the 'old' game.
Looking forward to the restart! Keep up the good work!
Please read for thos asking the time GMT is Greenwich Mean Time IE London UK time see link below for your local times.
www.wwp.greenwichmeantime.com
if it goes down at 15:00 GMT then its 16:00 in france ect America is minus hours anywhere from -4 hours to minus 9 hours, from the GMT time.
Hope this helps.
You linked to a good site but didn't understand it. GMT isn't UK time, in the UK it's GMT +1 hour at the moment due to daylight savings, in France it's GMT +2 hours.
Is it just me or did it http://www.monopolycitystreets.com/ just go down? It might just be me....
Me too.
i wonder if they got it backwards. its down captin!
gnie gnie.
What? No specific time? This is getting ridiculous...
Its down .
The game is down
? Are they restarting now ?
WHAT? You mean I've been sitting in front of the computer playing all this past week for nothing?!
Totally not fair to just wipe out all data like that.
Its back up again.
But, my account is gone.
(Problems logging in...)
Seems like I got hacked too.
Argh.
I can't log into my account.
I managed to log in, but couldn't build properties on my streets. After signing out I now can't log in again. I thought the reset was tomorrow, not today?
Most of us need a definite server restarting time.
What I think is that a notice here which 1-2 hours in advance should be good enough for me.
Managed to log in after a few tries.
Hmm.. Weird

Start all over again? What? Why is that so? Couldn't you just keep the data? It's deadly annoying.
The game is already available for a limited time, and now you plan to just delete all the effort that has gone into playing it so far.
That is BAD!
Just open a second map so us unknowing beta testers can continue to play without having our real estate deleted while still offering new players to snap up the big streets.
If the reset happens, I'm not sure I want to play again. I mean, who knows when you'll pull the same stunt again? It's like the equivalent of reformatting a harddrive to get rid of a virus when you can run a patch program instead. Totally the wrong approach!
We didn't get any alert or any message about this RESTART from the game. Instead, you guys placed such a funny notice in this blog and somewhere in twitter. Do you require every player to watch your every move in this stupid blog and that idiot twitter? When thousands of players suddenly lost their accounts and cannot log in your great game, when they suddenly realize that they have to keep reading this stupid blog and that idiot twitter when playing the game, they will be convinced that how naive and irresponsible you guys are. Hopeless.
We need a specific time for the restart, being vague about it will give those with nothing better to do than keep trying for 12+ hours an unfair advantage.
Also, if you're going to quote a restart time, do you know the difference between GMT / BST / EDT? In my experience many Americans don't (& I have a lot of experience in that area).
Please be correct in your use of timezones if you're going to quote a start time.
Internet people are very funny...
You want a restart because some people take good streets before you, and now you are irritated because you don't know an exact time, and you can't take good streets before others player. So you want to restart the game because you're jalous not because the game is unfair!! Freakin players...
And it's quite good to not specify an exact time, that permit to avoid the initial rush.
Why dun you guys just shut down this game and pack home? Stop wasting our time. It seems that we beta players are just free little white mice for saving your development cost. We will make full use of the restarting time to condemn your business approach in this blog.
That is not fair......very bad!!!
It's better for you to close this boring game...
Always the same actions, buying, selling, construct, destruct...It's funny one day but i don't understand players who will play 4 months...
(Sorry for my english)
I can understand why a definite restart time can't be determined at the moment - but please post a notice a few hours in advance of the restart either here or on twitter, or on the game site itself.
I'm not looking forward to sitting there for a few hours, constantly F5ing, just to get the same streets I have back again. I've grown quite attached to my streets, and they're the reason that game play has been fun for me.
To reiterate my request, please alert us at least 2-3 hours before the restart so that we won't be sitting for 12-24 hours refreshing in case we missed the restart. For those as eager to start as I am, I think that's very reasonable and would be very helpful.
The game is nice but i promise that this time I will not wait the whole day to check if its restarted. You should give a fixed time.
There's also a bug that's becoming more prevalent in the last few hours instead of getting better: I have several streets which appear full, but are not in fact full. I wouldn't be able to build a Green House or City Centre Cottage, because I get the message that the road is full. BUT an orange cone would pop up allowing me to build a Nova Tower Block or The Photat Building. I don't know if this is a game quirk designed to ensure more diversity of buildings, BUT it does seem rather unrealistic and I think it's most likely a bug.
Dear Developers!
I (in game Szilu) like this but I have the following problems... I tried tham with different browsers and system, and all of them were exist on all.
1. Sometimes (10%) after the login, on the bottom bar just the "search" icon is active. (I have to delete my temporary files to handle it.. one times every day)
2. I can not see my friends, because of a server error message. It is not a problem, but I`m alone on the local and on the national list, and my neighbour can play with me, but I can not reply.
3. Would be great a player search also, while the "buy streets" shows that, there are no any avaible street in this area, but it is not true, there are buildings, and I would like to se the owners and the streets.
4. Clicking on the "+" signal next to buildings works one times only for me. I have to refresh the page to make it again possible.
Have a nice day:)
1.) The problem I'm facing currently is, that one guy set 7 Hazard buildings to my streets in the same hour. But even being #5 in local rank, until now I never got even ONE "removal-card"....
That doesn't make fun, if you don't have any chance to remove these building. In the same time I got about 10 cards for building hazardous buildings....there should be an equality or limitation.
2.) What about the account itself, will it also be deleted?
3.) Is there a COUNT-DOWN. e.g. 3 hours until restart.
4.) Also the ranks showed, that there are people how definitly will cheat, because you can't make that much money in the short time. It's just math, what you can max. buy (streets and buildings) and max. earn from what you've bought...
Just an other one question:
5. Every day I have to pay nearly 30% of my many out. (Today >10 million in 4 parts from 25). Than I got back 3% (>1 million). Is it just really unluck every day or thats the normal way?
Nobody expects an exact time now as we all understand that is something you yourselves do not know yet. However, when it becomes clear to you when the servers will be coming up it would be good to let people know so they are not hanging around waiting all day i.e 2-4 hrs heads up on here and Twitter.
This reset has come about because of the apparent unfairness at the start and the cheating. If you do not give a heads up you will give an unfair advantage to those whom have the time to just spam F5 all day - or at least that's what a lot of people will say. The cheating will still occur no doubt and can be looked at in a more ongoing fashion.
You will get server load that you can not cope with whether you announce a time or not. Either everyone will all try at the same time as they know what that time will be - or you will have the multi-accounts refreshing all day then registering 20 accounts in the first 20 minutes. Your choice really whom you want to have the opportunity.
why in the leaderboard I cant open the voice FRIENDS???
it is a big problem bicose I have dificult to select "FRIENDS" and for use the cards.
please check it!
my nick is simoneman in monopoly
It is going to be a mad dash for streets once the reset has taken place :)

www.boardgamegeek.me
I had problem with viewing already bought street. When i clicked at street in list it moves my view to wrong place and I couldn't buy new buildings. I don't know where is that street placed. I hope that this is fixed.
By the way (I think I speak for everyone here)
"THANK YOU FOR A FREE GAME & BIG THANKS TO ALL PEOPLE, WHO ARE WORKING ON IT"
One more thing to change: the preview of opponent streets shows only five streets per site. It's really annoying clicking 'next' all the time, when someone own (sic!) over 1000 streets. Please make this view more configurable.
Ugh, and lots of streets are in a place diffrent from that, which is shown after clicking the name of street. Sometimes it's hard to find such a ghost-street in near area...
I would REALLY like to know how one single street could be cut up into different sections allowing multiple people to own the same street!
I currently own W. St Andrews road in Midland, and yet, another player owns, right in the middle of mine, part of W. St. Andrews. In other words, I see a long red line, then his short blue one, then mine again. Something's wrong there. It's all one street, yet multiple sections of it!?
Also, you REALLY need a support site ... there's NOTHING I saw to click on in game to get help which is really horrible when things really go wrong. Here I am, 149th comment today, as if anyones actually going to see it >8(
I'm with GunJah,
Thank you for all the work, the game is really fun, I know it sucks that every thing is getting reset, but so many people lost out when the servers got so baddly overloaded at the start.
I'm hoping you DON'T tell us when you are going to restart, to many people are gung hoe to buy up prime land, i'm happy to see them out of luck.
Find out the time in your timezone:
http://www.worldtimeserver.com/convert_time_in_UTC.aspx?y=2009&mo=9&d=17&h=15&mn=0
I think it's great us newcomers have an equal chance on high value property. Though it would be even better if there was some way to equal the chances over time, it seems the best chance you have on winning is getting onboard early...
Finally. The restart. I hope people will not cheat again :<
http://mindcrap.com
It is difficult to reduce cheating from people opening multiple accounts in an online game such as this. Only allowing one account per IP address would not really be workable due to the number of people sharing IP addresses. Also, making users submit and verify an email address is difficult due to laws in various countries that stipulate you cannot store personal information (including email addresses) of children under a certain age. A minimum age limit is not a good idea either, considering this is a game that is targeted at and is popular with children. It is a tough problem to solve.
what would actually be better to start with :
1) 1,000,000 street filled with green houses & cottages to max out your first income
2) 1,000,000 street filled with grid buildings to optimize street potential
3) Highly desired City streets
Anyone know what the longest $1M road in the UK is?
HI i need help my act with login: XANDER
WAS HACKED i think beacuse the streets that I once owned are now owned by a completly diffrent user named "compaq computer"
and every time i try to reset my act i get an error try again
please help my email is xander63@hotmail.com
sheep houses will give you more red cards and massive lost of money.
for all those, who are missing the point:
We are NOT complaining about "how long it will take" - I for one don't care if they take 36 hours, 48 hours or even a whole week to make the restart. We just want to know THE EXACT TIME the game would be up.
Why?
Because it would suck to refresh a browser window non-stop for an entire day...
and no - that's NOT A CHALLENGE - that's just stupid!
To all the people who are complaining about missing out on the "BEST" streets.
I have been using the Beta (pre reset) to scout around for potential targets.
Yesterday (after the game had been up for 5 days) I found THREE x 1 million streets that had not been bought.
If people are desperate for some of the famous streets then yes, they will go quickly but that will not spoil the game itself if you only log on a few hours after the re-launch.
personally, I think the 12hour "Window" will see a much better "Soft Launch" than the original did.
BUG!
My account called imehesz and I own a street in Jacksonville, FL (McCormick Rd). I put a school on this road (bonus building) and a day later I saw that somebody else (Janajana) own this street, because it's BLUE ... so I was like - "what the ...?"
If i click on my street view and click on MY McCormick Road it turns RED and states that I AM the owner ...
So this morning I realized, if I click on the McCormick road (while it's BLUE) it says that this street is in Georgia, but we are in Florida...
weird, hope you can fix it ;)
--iM
There are a lot of people complaining about a free product. Yes they have had server issues (I can sympathize), but they appear to be doing their best to fix it.
Mr. Monopoly, you have given us a shutdown time, not a restart time. I would like a start time because I don't want to sit around hitting refresh for a 12 hour window.
Btw, please crack down hard on cheaters and have a way for us to report them.
Sorry to be bitching but here are some suggestions for improvements (some Ive taken from the comments above)
1) make it possible for people to see all players positions. If I am number 1010 on a local level I might want to "attack" #1009. It would be great if I can see his streets too, not just the nickname on the board. If seeing all the players is too much, then maybe a seperate window for "self" position with 5 ppl above me and 4 below me (10 in total).
2) make it possible for players to chat with each other, or if that would overload the system, an alternative would be to be allowed to send lets say 5 written msgs a day (just like the alerts, just written by us).
3) make more zooming levels
4) when searching for streets, there could be tabs which would allow me to filter - show only available streets, show only available streets above/below *insert amount*.
5) when I click on a street, the information card could give me more information about it in a seperate more detailed tab - like how much it originally costed, how many buildings it has from each type and how much they cost. Yes, I know I can see the buildings from the map and count them and then see what each building type costs, but it is nice to ust get a quick overview...
6) finally, yes, I agree that there are many streets in the world, and that probably they will not run out, but it is annoying when you advertise your game by "buy ANY street in the world" and then cities with over a million population have like 1 or 2 (or even no!!) streets available. Sure, purely economically speaking it doesnt matter whether you buy some long but unknown street or you buy Broadway, but for most players it is the sentiment too - it matters!
I really hope you consider this!
Surely there are plenty of streets all over the world? What does it matter if you are a few hours late in the 'first rush'? Beyond sentimentality Why is Champs Elysee in Paris any better than Middle of Nowhere Rd in the wilds of Canada?
To the developers: great idea. Sure there are bugs, but there always are with this kind of thing. The passionate responses both positive and negative indicate how much the game has gripped people.
Hope you are doing something about the people that hack accounts and steals them...
i think the 1,000,000$ streets need to be change
it's need to be shorter streets and cost less
player with name SELAFAR probably set up new acccount. He bought some streets and buildings and he got some CHANCE cards. He set hazard building on my street and when he spent all his money he deleted his account. And maybe he is doing the same thing more and more.... It should be banned to do this....
If here is no system for checking regular players and ghost players. The GAME will not work.
Certainly multiaccounts are a problem if the player used them to fix the strategy. But how long can you play with a single account?. It takes 10 minutes to spend 3M and have to wait next day to get more money.
a few points:
- my profile shows me as US even though the first street I bought was in Ireland. Please let us change this.
- it should be possible to view a list of properties we have made bids for.
When you restart I think you should adjust the fines and cash bonuses given by chance cards. I understand that the fines are relative to your worth, which is cool, however the cash bonuses should also be relative. Getting a 10 million dollar fine and only a 500 thousand dollar bonus is kinds stupid I think, gives u a chance to get that cash back. I have fired that dumb ass lawyer about 20 times now and paid out over 50 million in fines, like come on man.
please set a restart time which is only fair to every one. . .
Some notes from me, because I sit here and bang my head on the table, not believing what I read others write.
Hey, people, why are you so fixated on "attack" or hitting others around your street? The main goal of this game is to get the leader in the world.
Ok.
But as long as there are free streets in the world I can still grow up without making war.
Either with little streets.
There are hundrets of million streets in the WORLD (don't only take a look at america) and I think it'll take many month's to catch them all and no steets is free to buy anymore.
After all streets are sold it will be interesting to get the streets from one's competitors. But until then calm down people and collect only streets which are free to buy or you can get trought an offer.
Sorry, for my poor english, but this isn't my main language :)
in my opinion, you should apply different values for city streets. It's not impossibile to import population data in your db, and so the city center of a big town could cost more than the city center of a little village. If not, there is no "big rush", cause buying the main streets in New York is not different from buying the streets in Tucson. Having real maps is cool, and having "real prices" will improve the feeling of doing something real.
@Kev
I totally agree with you, the chance cards are becoming so bad!
Here is my example of today's play :'(
http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f395/Mistyhoney/chancecards.jpg
I now fear those cards!!
How is the date set? Is it the 18th or will it roll over to the 19th. What's the deal Hasbro?
Do you have children running this show"?
Can you give any specific grown up answers or do you always have to play games...? Get with the program. Actually - learn how to program. Dang...
I ask a 1000 times about the Brazilian city Recife!!!
I repeat: Recife is the biggest city in the northeast of Brazil, and there isn't streets available to buy!
Other cities, like Maceió, João Pessoa, Natal, are smaller than Recife, but they show many streets to buy...
please! please!!! pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaase!!!! Fix it... =/
i have built some bonus building and discover that the following text isn't really true
"This street is protected from Hazards and Bulldozers by a Bonus building."
i have tried it out and found out that you can demolish even bonus buildings.
If it suppose to be in that way i think it would be better if the players get fewer bonus buildings and instead that kinds of building are indestructible.
just my point of view.
@Peba, @Mowev,
No one is listening. Think about it,how hard would it be to assign one team member to monitor this blog and respond to post with intelligent informed answers. All you will receive here is a bunch of horse hockey and strange replies that don't answer your questions. Maybe you would have better luck with Twitter or their facebook page. Oh yea thats another example of not being helpful. They have all these so called information points that explain very little. Its designed to divide and confuse the players. Maybe there will not be any players soon if they keep this up.
Some people just don't get it a 12 hour window is as close to a start time as you will ever get. You should be thanking the people trying to fix the bugs and stop the cheating (UNLESS YOU ARE A CHEATER THAN YOU SHOULD BE BANNED)grow up stop bitchin its only a game not real life and if you think it is real life there are rehabs out the for internet addiction
I guess I agree with most of you guys here, an exact restart time/date would only be fair!
hmm, theres a lot of people who seem to be hurt by the disfunctional FREE game you're paying for them to play on. to those people, i say stfu.
@jody, and @mark.ellis,
Well you spent time to come to this blog and post. So you are one of us internet addicted hurt people. Welcome!
Or should I say Hasbro employees spreading your bad seed. Get off this line...
dunno if this was mentioned but the chance card system is faulty, meaning you get a chance card after building a house every random times, a random card. The problem is i can essentially purchase a chance card! take a street keep demolishing and rebuilding a green house granted losing 25K per build but in 10 rebuilds i got 3 cards 2 demolish and a bonus basically the system has to do a check for this to stop ppl from doing this to just get chance cards to sabotage other players there has to be a better system
@Peba
"I ask a 1000 times about the Brazilian city Recife!!!
I repeat: Recife is the biggest city in the northeast of Brazil, and there isn't streets available to buy!"
Peba, go to www.openstreetmap.org and register a user. There you can add your city's streets for free (it is open like Wikipedia) and next update of this monopoly game you can have the luck your town will be there, because this game use the openstreetmap database for the streets.
Loving this game, keep up the good work folks. Looking forward to playing from the beginning again.
Drew aka JUPITERGEORGE
I cancel a card (like hazard building) and than do something else. After a page refresh I get the same card again... Is it good so?
If we run out of streets worldwide, then start selling Moon Craters by using www.google.com/moon
WHEN ALL STREETS WILL BE SOLD, THE FUN WILL BEGIN :)
I think the only problem on chance card is there should be a daily cap on the number of cards a play can get. For those who try to get extra cards by repeat buying and selling, they have to take the risk on getting penalty cards. Out of my observation, the amount of penalty may be calculated by a certain percentage of the players current cash balance. So rich players need to bear more risk.
@ Donald- not sure how he did it in 20 minutes, but I was able to sabotage all 7 of one f8cking idiot's streets, including 7 hazards on each of his two very expensive streets, and demolish every single one of his buildings over $75k. I lost count of how many that was, but it was probably 15 buildings taken down in addition to the bonuses he had on each of his streets, And it took me an hour or so.
Oh, you're a cheater... oh, you have no life. Maybe true on the first, but I have a life. I just chose to use an hour of it to get back at a cheater who used multiple accounts to target me first.
So he started it.
Lol.. I'm a cheater and a big baby. But don't f*ck with me unless you want your empire to crumble. FYI, I do hope they make it harder to get chance cards after the reset :)
I'm wondering what will happen come January.
If Hasbro decides not to continue this, would they consider offering the code as open source? (Minus the Hasbro and monopoly trademarks). I would be interested in putting up something like this not as a competing game, but to pick up wherever, if ever you decide to stop hosting this.
An alternative may be to do something similar to what this guy did in Google Earth http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2009/05/fantastic_free_google_earth_game_sh.html
Just thinking ahead.
I just had a small question about the chance cards that take money. Yesterday I lost nearly 8 million from two chance cards. And over the last week I've lost a lot more then that. While at most I've only gained 500,000 from a chance card.(biggest penalty so far was 4.3 million.)
I just wanted to make sure this wasn't a bug of some sort.
people - it's a free game - and a pretty cool one, despite its shortcomings. these guys don't work for you - and even if they did it wouldn't give you the right to treat them like shit. do you really think they're trying to 'divide and confuse' us - as opposed to, say, work their butts off to create something fun? you sad deluded paranoid freak. if you don't like it, please find some inanimate object to abuse and spare us your spleen.
for the rest of you complaining about the reset - it may not be fair but it's hardly as unfair as having your username hijacked, and given all the cheating i'd say it's the only option. personally (having learned some things in the past few days) i'm looking forward to it, though not the 12-24 hrs of finding opportunities to check without seeming like the tragic i am becoming ...
Liking the new "this street has changed owners too many times" rule!
Will the Openstreetmap data also be refreshed? Cause it seems that the data is from a very old dump and not very actual. Please refresh it..
@Sneedy McCreedy,
I believe there would not be nearly as many unhappy folks out there if the game designers had simply provided good information and not all this BS. Clear answers, start times, is all we expect. Your wasting our time with this stuff.
And these guys do work for us since participation will bring them money. Also, if we are going to *spend* our time playing then we expect a good product in return. Or we won't play and shut ya down!
Hasbro - If you don't want to give us a good product then we will simply go to another so called *Free* game that does want a large participation which translates into huge profits.
Just updated a new article on pre-launch strategy and tips.
http://monopolyhq.com>
@Hank
"And these guys do work for us since participation will bring them money. Also, if we are going to *spend* our time playing then we expect a good product in return. Or we won't play and shut ya down!"
Oh my god, what a stupid and dump thinking of you, Hank.
Did you pay for this game? Did you hire hasbro to create this game for you? Did hasbro force you to play this game?
And if you stop playing and go away I don't think hasbro will inflict a loss.
"Hasbro - If you don't want to give us a good product then we will simply go to another so called *Free* game that does want a large participation which translates into huge profits."
ROFL
I love such mother sons like you.
Do us a favour and go. Go far far away and play your other free games.
best wishes and regards
@Mario
I suspect this game is a marketing stunt for Monopoly City http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_City think about. If a lot of people like this game, they may be inclined to buy and play Monopoly City as well. Although we do not directly pay money to play this game, Hasbro's hope is to advertise the board game version through this google maps version.
The same model applies to other 'free' offers. Do you really think Google is free? You better not. Those searches you make are paid for by people purchasing ads for the sponsored links on the top and sides of your search result. Google makes money whenever you click on that link.
Playing this game may be free, but remember that the money has to come from somewhere.
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH YOU PPL....
This game is FREE!!!! FREE!!! FREE!!! FREE!!
Just don't play if your upset w/everything.
But PLEASE.....QUIT complaining and give the developers a break!
I won't have access to internet Thursday or Friday...OH WELL, i'll play Saturday.
Sincerely, THANK YOU MR. MONOPOLY for all your hard work!
